Walter Cronkite

On Nov. 22, 1963, Walter Cronkite interrupted As the World Turns to break the news that President John F. Kennedy had been shot. Amidst the chaos of the day, it was uncertain whether the President had suffered fatal wounds. But when the traditionally unflappable Cronkite delivered the dreadful confirmation that Kennedy had passed (at 5:05 in the video above), it became a moment of television history. Cronkite later admitted that, “I choked up, I really had a little trouble … my eyes got a little wet … [what Kennedy had represented] was just all lost to us. Fortunately, I grabbed hold before I was actually [crying].”

Disgusting. It makes me sick seeing Obama cry in front of his campaigners. If he wants to cry, he should be crying over the poor people in NY/NJ dumpster diving for food, freezing in the cold with no electricity. He is a disgrace.
